Hellmuth's insurance ideology

Zorlac · #1 10-31-2007, 09:03 PM

I think it's about TV time...

Hellmuth mentioned in the last episode they're allowed '1 minute' to discuss insurance. This is 1 minute of TV time that all the other pros 'wasted' (in his eyes) and he milked every second of it.

For that 1 minute he's the centre of attention, the cameras are on HIM and it allows him to bath in the glory of having the best hand and outplaying someone.

I'm guessing it has to do w/ the fact of how big the game is and wanting to hold onto the money more than maximize his EV since he will probably never reach a long run in 300/600nl.
